JaMarko just decommited from Ole Miss. In the story on his commitment to Ole Miss. said he was down to RI and CU. He's a 6-8 combo forward. Don't have any idea if we will reach out but as quiet as it's been on who might fill that last spot I thought he would be a good get at this point. He was a 4*. Go Jays!

Interesting.....#77 on 247 composite. Wonder if Murphy is on the phone....this name doesn't sound familiar though.

Need to gain weight before he can be considered a combo forward.

Unless he is good enough to get minutes this year, not sure if he fits a need with the two 18' forwards we already have lined up.

Are we ever in a position to turn down a Top 100 player?

No we aren't. And I am surprised I was able to write that. Shows how far we have come along. I just think our forward needs are fulfilled though for future, we could use a PG or two with the 18' scholie.

Yes, we/Jays are.

Creighton did not pursue him originally, and he had a short list. Is he a combo forward or PF (just askin')? Is he a fit in our system?
I was hoping to grab Carrigan with the last 2017 scholie.

If Creighton didn't pursue him then why did Evan Danials in a story on 10-20 2016 say they did. I have no idea if we will reach out now but we recruited him then. Go Jays!
